The club from Cívitas Metropolitano considers it a priority to reinforce the defense. It will do so with Le Normand and has tried with Piero Hincapié, although Leverkusen has been clear and has valued its player at 50 million. The rojiblanca sports management understands that it is a very high price to pay for the Ecuadorian. Atlético offers an amount between 30 and 35 million, although the German club will not do the operation for this money.

Berta also looks for a left-handed player. Hermoso has been a regular in the team this season and a substitute is being sought. There is Reinildo, but Atlético needs another left-handed player. Berta loves Piero Hincapié, the Ecuadorian defender from Leverkusen. Simeone, too. He is 22 years old and is one of those footballers who cost money but has years ahead to amortize his signing. Hincapié has a contract until 2027 and his market value is 40 million euros. Berta insists on him, although he knows that it will not be easy. The German team knows that it has an important player and will not let him go at any price. It would be from 35 million, plus variables, notable figures for a defender.
